Yes.
In an ambient environment, cooling a portion creates a temperature/thermal energy differential, which results in ambient heat becoming available for utilization.
The bird uses evaporative cooling.
The towers use other means of cooling.

...capturing, concentrating and converting ambient heat into electricity."
They are forms of ambient heat engines, using an artificially generated "cold" to render ambient heat available for conversion into useable energy, in that respect, they are the same as the "dippy bird".
The Flooid people seem to be more cognizant of this, whereas the KPP people either are not aware of this aspect of their device or consider it a "trade secret", though an obvious factor of their system, just as in the Flooid system, due to the use of an air compressor that dissipates heat from the air so that it can cool and absorb ambient heat on expansion, but now in a situation where the ambient heat absorbed is in a position to effect the generation of power.

Similarly, the heat lost in the "dippy bird"'s head can then be reabsorbed from the ambient at the base, where this heat input is in a situation that results in mechanical motion (or "work").
